Guidelines for User Groups that Support Eclipse Foundation Projects and Working Groups

This document provides guidelines for user groups that are based on
Eclipse Foundation projects and/or working groups. These user groups
may leverage one or more Eclipse Foundation brands (e.g.,
Eclipse® , Jakarta® , or Tangle™ ).

Any User Group must have a focus on an Eclipse Foundation open
source project and/or a working group community.

A User Group can be a separate organization, or a subgroup of a
larger group.

User Groups should promote free software both within the group
and in relationships with other organizations.

User Groups should make an effort to foster a positive message
about both Eclipse and free software.

It is necessary for any User Group to have a contact person who
can act as a representative for the group and who accepts
responsibility to ensure that the guidelines are followed. If the
User Group has a president, then the president would be a good
person to fill this role. For example, this person will be
responsible to ensure that the User Group follows the requirements
regarding how to use the Eclipse brand.
